Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe banana (frozen in chunks for best texture; fresh works too)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or natural)
  • 3/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt for a lighter texture)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but adds great flavor)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional, if using a fresh banana or you want it extra cold)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, a tiny pinch enhances the peanut butter flavor)

Method
 

  1. Prep the banana: If you haven’t already, peel and slice a ripe banana and freeze the slices. This gives the smoothie a thick, creamy texture.
  2. Add ingredients to the blender: Place the banana, peanut butter, yogurt, 3/4 cup milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt into your blender.
  3. Blend until smooth: Start on low, then increase to high until everything is creamy with no chunks. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk.
  4. Taste and adjust: Blend in honey or maple syrup if you want more sweetness. For extra chill, add a couple of ice cubes and blend again.
  5. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy right away. If you like, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few banana slices.
